Or that its hard to be even remotely skeptical by relying solely on youtube videos. Being skeptical is all about overcoming bias. Youtube videos are not known from balanced reporting. also when it comes to scientific matters, you either get dumbed down tv pieces designed for the lowest common denominator or custom pieces with extreme bias. Not a great way at getting at the truth that way.

Not that there's not some really good stuff out there, but it should complement your research, not serve as the focal point. Scepcop recognizes that, which is why, when he promoted Sloan's book over on Skeptiko (he copied the post here) he made it appear that he was one of only a few people he followed on youtube. He didn't want to appear only as someone who watched youtube videos.

Here are some deep thinking and philosophical musing videos from Darryl Sloan as examples of what I'm talking about. He makes many very good and well thought out points in them. You can tell by listening to him that not only is he very sincere and genuine, but very "awake and conscious" as well. This is the kind of person you can learn a lot from about how to think for yourself. Thus he is definitely worth listening to and why I recommend him, for you will benefit from it no doubt. He is definitely a rare find no doubt. Listen and you will see.

And let me be clear - there is a lot of good stuff on youtube. I've downloaded a number of debates for example (I convert them to Mp3 and listen on my ipod). There is also a lot of good introductory material out there on various subjects. And there may be some very good higher level stuff as well.

However, if all you are doing is watching youtube videos, that means you are not making attempts to verify the information discussed.

For example, you recently posted some videos about the US education system. I haven't watched them. But you mentioned that they are accurate. It is impossible to say that those videos are accurate without doing additional research.

I've not completed my ditty on Sloan, PK, etc. but I did find another amazing demonstration of unexplainable PK Powers...
